Photography Masterclasses Series
These photography masterclasses are bite-sized lessons on specific topics. They range between two and three hours and run on an ongoing cycle. Classes are generally held at my home in Coventry.
They are suitable for any level of photographer but please feel free to phone me if you want to check on suitability
These are the perfect refresher class and are also suitable for anyone who has already attended a photography course with myself as each class contains new material and we are able to get more in-depth on specific topics and brush up on your areas of understanding.
Each class is approximate 2.5hrs and runs on a weekday evening on a rolling basis.

Description/Content
For the beginner in photography there is a temptation to just convert to mono when back home in the hope that it might work better than the colour parent. This class not only aims to teach you how to identify great opportunities for mono photographs before you even pick up the camera but in breaking down the vital elements for mono photography it will also greatly improve your eye and design of colour images too.
It could be argued that if you can master the art of good mono photography then the journey to becoming a good colour photographer will be 80% complete. Colour is after all the only thing that separates a mono photograph from a colour photograph.
